Infrared Heating for Food and Agricultural Processing

Researchers from the food and agriculture sciences and from electrical and materials sciences describe engineering approaches and applications for using infrared radiation heating to process food and agriculture products. Among their topics are fundamentals and theory of infrared radiation, heat and mass transfer modeling of infrared radiation for heating infrared drying, combined infrared radiation and freeze-drying, infrared baking and roasting, and industrial applications of infrared radiation heating and economic benefits in food and agricultural processing.
